MOST NetServices Layer II

MOST NetServices Layer II, in combination with MOST NetServices Layer I, forms the basic core of a MOST device. The NetBlock and FBlock Enhanced Testability, mandatory parts of every MOST device, are integrated into Layer II grade. The Command Interpreter and Address Handler provide full support for functional addressing, allowing the application to ignore physical addresses of other devices in the MOST network. The Notification Service simplifies the distribution of status messages whenever an internal device property changes. Configuration files allow Layer II grade to be adapted to different application and platform requirements.
